"The remarkable thing we have is a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude." ~Charles Swindoll

The world is your mirror and your mind is a magnet.
What you perceive in this world is largely
a reflection of your attitudes and beliefs.
Life will give you what you attract with your thoughts.
Think, act and talk negatively and your world will be negative.
Think and act and talk with enthusiasm
and you will attract positive results.

Three Gates of Gold
LET every thought thy lips would utter pass three gates of gold,—
But, if through these it fails to pass, then let it not be told;
And o’er each gate in silver letters written thou wilt find,
Above the first one, “Is it true?” the second, “Is it kind?”
And “Is it necessary?” o’er the third one the last.
Then guard thy thoughts, let none escape, save those
these gates have passed!
